About
Hi, I'm a veteran running a local tech shop.
Rural Tech and Support is the operating brand of Bulwark Black LLC, headquartered in Spokane, WA. I help households, small businesses, and rural operators with the kind of IT, security, and AI work that the big firms either won't take or overcharge for.
My background is in cybersecurity, engineering, and AI. My day-to-day is closer to the kitchen table — patient walkthroughs, written runbooks, and bills that match the quote.
Mission
What I'm here to do.
Make capable, modern technology help available to people who keep getting overlooked — rural households, small operators, and the folks who'd rather have a phone number than a ticket portal.
Approach
Calm. Documented. Honest.
I patch the basics, automate the boring, and use AI only where it actually helps. I say "no" when AI is the wrong tool. I document everything I touch. I leave you stronger than I found you.
What I will not do
Honest constraints.
- · I will not sell you AI you don't need.
- · I will not take a job I can't do well.
- · I will not bypass safety checks to hit a deadline.
- · I will not call a backup "done" without a real restore test.
- · I will not lock you into anything you can't take with you.
For Agencies & Primes
